The Gaming Outsider

The Gaming Outsider Podcast is a show dedicated to video gaming of all kinds with a focus on the community. Here at The GO, we don't subscribe to just one platform, and we realize that we don't have the ability to play every game that's out there. Our goal is to discuss ours and our listener's perspectives on current and former games that we have played while keeping a positive environment.

Scott and Josh are here to talk about their experience with "The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth" a game that, up until recently, had only been available on PC/Mac. Now that it's on console, Scott put a good amount of time with it on Xbox One, and Josh gave it a shot on PS4. They both have pretty polarizing views on the game, so you should get a good idea if this game is for you or not.

In our latest "Weekly Update", we discuss "Pokken Tournament", a Pokemon-themed fighting game that is getting a Wii U release; we're also discussing the requirement to purchase a dongle to use wireless guitar controllers from Xbox 360 on your Xbox One to play Rock Band 4. Our "From the Outside In" topic this week is "What universally popular game or series will you never understand the love it gets?"

Scott and Josh welcome Aaron Peterson from The Hollywood Outsider to discuss the beta for "Call of Duty: Black Ops III", which was made available to everyone last weekend. We get to hear about what's new, what's the same, and whether or not it's worth picking up on release day (at least for the multiplayer).

In our latest "Weekly Update" we discuss two weeks of news including Sonic making an apperance in a Mario game as well as a Super Nintendo game coming to PS4. Our "From the Outside In" topic this week is "Even though we're all sick of HD remakes and remasters, what one game would you like to see get a fresh coat of paint?".

With Scott out of town on vacation, Josh and Zach decided to take the opportunity to talk about what it's like to be a gamer who also is a father. Since both have boys under the age of two years old, there's a constant struggle to make time for their favorite hobby. They talk about how having a child has changed their gaming habits and also discuss their desires for their spawn to follow in their footsteps when it comes to gaming.

Josh and Scott take some time to discuss one of their most-anticipated titles of the year thus far, "Rare Replay", which is a collection of 30 games from the legendary developer that span 25 years of their existence. We'll let you know if the bang is worth your buck.

Our guest for this episode is Zack Parkerson, who is here to share his impressions of "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter", which recently received a PS4 port. It's definitely a thinking man's game that doesn't hold your hand. Give it a listen and decide if it's worth a look for you.

In our latest "Weekly Update" we discuss Gamescom as well as some interesting news regarding the Gears of War Ultimate Edition. Our "From the Outside In" topic this week is "What games would you not mind playing for hundreds of hours in order to perfect a speed run?".

Josh, Zach, and Scott discuss "Wolfenstein: the Old Blood" on this episode of The Gaming Outsider. Even though the game came out digitally a couple months ago, they decided it was worth taking the time to discuss it. Is it worth your time? Listen and find out.
